They received further criticism because of the impact and amount of sponsorship deals they had signed.

The performance was broadcast on Showtime in a pay-per-view event titled Spice Girls in Concert Wild! Their last reunion tour in 2019 only visited venues in the UK and Ireland, with fans flying from across the globe to watch the band perform their first shows in 11 years. The Spice Girls and the production team agreed that his cameo should be deleted from the final print, although the band's performance of Glitter's " I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" was retained.It was the first time the Spice Girls had performed together since the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony.

He described how, reading a newspaper article listing the many famous names appearing in the film, he had scoffed: “‘Who are these fools that are taking part in this movie? Spiceworld was a big success in Canada, it was the group's second diamond-selling album and spent 43 weeks in the Top 10 and 60 weeks in the Top 20 album chart.The film—made in a similar vein to the Beatles' A Hard Day's Night (1964)—depicts a series of fictional events leading up to a major concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, liberally interspersed with dream sequences and flashbacks as well as surreal moments and humorous asides, whilst also including a subplot dealing with a smear campaign against the Spice Girls by an overzealous newspaper CEO in an attempt to destroy their reputation for his own benefit.

The iconic band posted an updated logo for their second album featuring a spinning globe alongside a silver band to mark the quarter century milestone. Its scenes of Spicemania were pulled straight from the Hard Day’s Night playbook, but the girls’ tour bus – a union-flag-festooned double-decker from the outside; inside, the size of a small house, with individual quarters for each Spice that allowed Victoria Adams a full mirrored wardrobe and Emma Bunton a swing and a slide – was a flagrant nod to the Fabs’ communal house with four front doors in Help!
